One-Way Vision Vinyl, Bespoke Sign

Bespoke Sign 47

Bespoke Sign 47

This is a very unique reverse-printed bespoke sign printed on a one-way vision vinyl. The colours show through well, and prevent vision through to the other side of the glass – this particular vinyl is 60/40 although there are several other types that can be used to prevent more vision through.

The Credit Crunch

Being a business, GRS Sign Company Ltd., has to consider a variety of options when conducting every day operations. Primary among those are the financial options, of course. Businesses wouldn’t do well by losing money all the time, so the primary purpose is of course, to make money. At the end of the day after paying employees, paying bills, and taking in money for jobs, it is ultimately the aim to have some money left over.

That seems pretty straightforward, I’d say.

The last year has been a bit shaky in the financial markets, and to be fair it’s not really getting any better. Prices are steadily rising, not just of our raw materials but for everything: taxes, food, clothes, mortgages etc., Some affect the business, some don’t. Indirectly of course, they all do – the employees have to factor in food, clothes and so on, whereas the company (directly) wouldn’t have to.

Some businesses expect you to maintain the lowest price possible, some even complain when you raise prices a little to counter the effects of rising prices, but most are in the same boat.

This was a big job and the fitting crew left early in the morning to reach the location. Large deep holes needed to be dug, concrete poured and set with the poles in place, and then all the dropped into exact position.

As you may see the fitting crew in this case are stood on the scaffolding they erected behind the sign, and in shot to show just how large the sign was, and showing us they wore their safety gear.

Laminating Signs

There are a lot of sign companies that may vinyl a sign up, or print onto some vinyl, put that onto a substrate such as or signboard, and send it out. GRS wants its signs to last a bit longer, and believes that protecting them with a laminated layer helps preserve the level of quality that our customers are happy with.

Having an extra protective layer may give a sign several additional years of use. The rain, although it may seem fleeting and momentary, can start to wear away a sign’s surface if it is not protected properly. Cold weather, freezes and the like, can make the vinyl brittle and prone to being pulled off – lamination helps against this. And of course, the warm sun can start on the sign from the outset, breaking down inks and pigments to make the colours seem less vivid and clear – lamination helps with this too, adding another layer for the harmful IR rays to get through.
